BOLANOS MAYORGA, Eduardo. Between pain and pride: disabled chronic diseases and counter-ability struggles. Andamios [online]. 2022, vol.19, n.49, pp.69-91.  Epub 05-Jun-2023. ISSN 2594-1917.  https://doi.org/10.29092/uacm.v19i49.920.

The present paper explores the new narratives around the experience of illness, acording to the movement of people with disabling chronic illneses. This article is divided into four different moments. The first one presente a description of the disabling chronic illneses, the second one offers some notes about the moral and capitalistic assumptions that have shaped the experience of illness. The third section focuses on disability as a mechanism for the territorialization and entrapment of the experience of illness. The four and last moment exposes a quick panoramic of the starting points for ill movement. We conclude that ill militancy achieves to build a narrative and experience of illness that come together as part of an anticapitalistic and antiableist praxis.
